War is not the answer never was never will
We will never live in peace unless and until
We learn to love each other, not bomb, maim and kill
Cause……. War is not the answer never was, never will.
Think of all the weapons we make around the world
Investing brains and money in the best ways how to kill
If we could use that money for the betterment of man
And care about each other, there’d be peace throughout the land.
Think of all the children who suffer due to wars
Think of all the families, (together never more)
Think of all the soldiers who lost both life and limb
When we fight the battles, no one ever wins.
Rid the world of weapons, think what we could do
Jobs and education, universal health care too
Invest into our future, (imagine how’d it be)
A cleaner environment, peace and harmony.
We can make the changes, it never is too late
The world can be a better place, (peace stands at the gate)
If we join together and finally decide
To have the peace that’s waiting, just on the other side.
Some may say we’re crazy, stupid and naïve
We can never live in peace, ‘cause wars will always be
Well I believe it’s possible, if we join hand in hand (stop)
To create a better world, with peace in every land.
We will never live in peace unless and until
We learn to love each other, not bomb, maim and kill
